Teaching Sensible Mathematics in Sense-Making Ways with the CPMP

摘要

Current policy reports addressing mathematics education in American schools, such as Everybody Counts (NRC 1989), Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM 1989), Professional Standards for Teaching Mathematics (NCTM 1991), and Assessment Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM 1995), call for sweeping reform in curricular, instructional, and assessment practices. Implementing the proposed reforms poses new opportunities and challenges for school districts, mathematics departments, and classroom teachers.
